Walk Leader ~ Emma
Emma is a qualified Mountain Leader & she’s also qualified in First Aid for Mental Health & Outdoor First Aid – so you know she’ll keep you safe and make your Wellness Walk a safe and supportive space.
Emma tells us that her favourite local walk is in the woods in Spring when the bluebells come out – sounds like an excellent opportunity for some Forest Bathing. Given the chance to pick a favourite walk anywhere she’d probably pick the Carneddau Mountains as she likes the tranquillity they offer.
Emma’s top tip is to keep some snacks easily accessible on your walks – she’s a big fan of flapjack!
